10th Cavalryman Made Goat In Army Scandal WEST SIDE DOCTOR IS GUILTY PRICE 5 CENTS "CON GAME" CHARGED TO P.W. CHAVERS "CON GAME" CHARGED TO P.W. CHAVERS Minister Brings Charge Against Douglass Bank Bead CASE IS CONTINUED Says He Sold Stock In Unincorporated Company P. W. Chavers, president of the Douglas National Bank, was arreed at late Friday on a warrant charging the operation of a confidence game. The warrant was issued at the instance of the Rev. J. W. Coleman, 4004 Calumet ave., who had invested money in one of Chavers' own prices. Preacher Bought Stock According to the Rev. Mr. Coleman, he was induced to purchase stock in a proposed clothing company being promoted by Chauvers. He is said to have invested $200 in the scheme and to have received a receipt for the money, although the receipt did not state in what company the stock was bought. In consideration of his investment, the Rev. Mr. Coleman was to be made manager of the men's tailoring department of a factory now operated by Chauvers at 843 E. 43rd street. According to the preacher, failure on the part of Chauvers to live up to certain agreements, and the failure to pay his salary when due, resulted in his withdrawal as manager. He also demanded the return of the money he had invested and the payment of his back salary. Starts Investigation Failure to meet his demands resulted in an investigation by Rev. Coleman. A search through the records at Springfield revealed the fact that no such company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Illinois. The preacher then secured a warrant charging Chavers with operating a confidence game. At the preliminary hearing held in Harrison street court Saturday morning, Chavers was granted a continuance to Feb. 23. Bandits Grab Vendome Receipts In broad daylight Monday two bandits held up Frank and John Hammond, who with their father operate a string of moving picture theatres on the South Side.

The money represented three days' receipts at the Vendome Theatre. Scores of pedestrians were passing through the streets at the time of the holdup.

SUPPOSED ONE LEADER PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad, Feb. 15.—Great Britain is doing everything possible to suppress independence agitation in this island. The government has gone so far as to suppress the circulation of "The Negro World," Marcus Garvey's paper, which is alleged to be starting a slow fire in the West Indies which is expected to end eventually in rebellion. The precarious condition of the white race is easily understood when it is learned that of a total of 65,000 people, there are only about 100 pure whites here.

Reprieve Reaches Condemned Man In Nick Of Time RALEIGH, N. C., Feb. 18.—No motion picture plot was ever more dramatic or thrilling than the escape of Wright Rouse here last week, when a word from Gov. Morrison snatched him from death in the electric chair just as the current was about to be switched on. Rouse was about to pay the penalty for the death of William Whitley, a white farmer. It was alleged that Mrs. Whitley, the murdered man's wife, had promised Wright $500 to kill her husband so that she could be free to live with her lover, to Hayes. Gov. Morrison gave the condemned man a reprieve to further investigate the case. Rouse was praying for time when the message came. K. K. K. Parade In Oklahoma City OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla, Feb. 18-White shrouded figures 2,000 strong passed through the streets here tonight in what is said to have been the greatest parade of the Kur Klux ever witnessed in the southwest. Between 50,000 and 60,000 people crowded the streets in the business section to view the parade which was three miles long and which took two hours in passing a given point. Police and county officers with plain clothes men were stationed along the line of march and reserves were held in readiness for any emergency, but the parade was marked with perfect order throughout. CHICAGO, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 1922 Trace "Ether Bandit" To South Side Police combed the "South Side late last week for two other bundles" suspected of attacking two white women on the West Side, killing one, and seriously wounding the other. The dead woman was Mrs. Morris Greenberg, white, 3448 West 15th Street, who was murdered by a man she had employed to wash windows. The woman's body was found in the dining room of her home, the room being in disorder, and every indication, the police say, pointing to robbery. Near the body was a bottle containing what was believed to be chloroform. She had been strangled to death. While she was struggling under the effects of the chloroform, the police believe the murderer bound and silenced her. Ether Bought on South Side The only claw the police had to the robber was the small bottle with the druggist's label on it. The label bore the name of the Harvey B. Saunders Drug Co., 51st and State Streets. A drug clerk at the store said he had sold the chloroform to a man about two weeks ago. He had asked for the chloroform to make a liniment for rheumatism. His face was familiar in the neighborhood, he said. Neighbors of the slain woman, for whom the man had also worked, knew him only as John, and said he lived in the vicinity of 47th Street and Wabash Avenue. Robert Thompson, 23, 3836 Prairie Avenue, was arrested on suspicion, but was released when identification failed. Second Victim Survives The second victim was Mrs. De lauris Sherwood, 60, 1449 Solon Place, who was found lying in her home with her skull fractured, and taken to the County Hospital. She had employed a man to carry in coal for her. When she saw him going through a dresser drawer, she spoke to him, and he hit her over the head with a bar, she said. It was at first thought that the same man had attacked both women. When Mrs. Sherwood regained consciousness she identified Eugene McFarlane, 1357 Blue Island Avenue, as her assailant. He laer confessed, and expressed his regret that he did not kill her, as she then would have been unable to identify him. Neighbors and relatives of the murdered woman were positive that McFarlane was not the man who murdered Mrs. Greenberg. "Slayer Williams" Begins "ATLANTA", Ga., Feb. 18 Williams of "Murder Farm" life sentence here last week. Sentence —John S began his DEPUTY SHOOTS DOWN MAN AT POLLS IN POLITICAL FEUD PLTTSBURGH, Pa., Feb. 15. George Aikin, deputy sheriff, tried before Judge Carpenter on a charge of shooting David Arnett in the polling place of the Thirteenth district of the Third Ward last primary election day, was convicted of unlawful wounding last week. He will be sentenced later. According to the testimony, the shooting came as the climax to a day of disturbances in the district. Arnett claimed he went to the polling place and was refused admittance. When he pushed into the room, he said, he was struck by the defendant and when he then started to leave was shot in the back. Aikin claimed after a fight outside the polling place, he had been called in by the judge of election, Grant Taylor when Arnett and a gang of five others were seen coming up the street. Threats to clean up the polling place had previously been made Aikin testified, and when the gang broke into the room and commenced throwing bricks and bottles, the deputy sheriff shot.

TROOPER IS FRAMED' TO SAVE WOMAN Oth Cavalryman Is Held On Charge Of Assault Say Husband Knew Of Her Affair With Captain FUCSON, Ariz., Feb. 18—Robert Mangum, a trooper of the 10th U. S. cavalry, is about to go to trial for attempted criminal assault on Mrs. Isael M. Robenson, white, wife of Major John A. Robinson, also of the 10th cavalry. It is freely rumored in army circles that Mangum is being charged with the offense in order to save from public disgrace a white officer who is alleged to have had improper relations with the major's office. Captain William Kenahan is the other officer involved. What was commonly thought to be in instance of punishing a soldier who had gotten on a drunk and lost his head, has developed new angles of a sensational nature, involving Captain Kenahan, whose improper relations with Mrs. Robenson are said to have shown by her husband. Evidence Involving Kenahan Sensational evidence involving Captain Kenahan has been given by Zack Banks and Bertha Jackson, cook and maid, respectively, in the Robinson quarters at the army post. The testimony of these two persons was unshaken in any detail by cross examination. Zack Banks testified under oath that on the 19th of July last, the day of the alleged criminal attack by Mangum, he was standing with Major Robenson when Mrs. Robenson returned from her horse-sack ride, accompanied by Captain Kenahan. He told of the major's displeasure on the occasion, and when the latter questioned his wife about the mud on her white riding breeches, she cried and said Captain Kenahan had pulled her from her horse. Major Robenson then, in great anger, it is stated, tried to reach Captain Kenahan over the telephone as the captain had just previously left the Robinson home. Mangum Horribly Beaten The day following the circumstances recited above, Robert Mangum trooper, was called to headquarters accused of attempted assault on Mrs Robenson, and was horribly beaten up to make him confess the crime. Looks Like Frame-Up No circumstance of the case is more indicative of a frame-up against Mangum that the conflicting statements of Mrs. Robenson herself. The prosecuting attorney had as preliminary evidence Mrs. Robenson's statement (Continued on page 2) "Little Eva" Of Uncle Tom's Cabin Is Dead "Little Eva" Of Uncle Tom's Cabin Is Dead CINCINNATI, Ohio, Feb. 18.—Arrangements for the funeral of Mrs. Imogene Hyams, 84, former noted actress, who died here last week, were being made today.

Chicago's Most Popular and Widely Read Weekly PRICE FIVE CENTS S.GUI UILTY French Girl's Smiles Caused Army Lynching WASHINGTON, Feb. 18.—Further investigations made by the Senate committee into charges of executions without trial in France elicited the story of a shattered romance from Phillip Bell of Memphis, Bell, who served overseas with a service unit at Is-Sur-Til, told of a lynching he saw. He was questioned by Senator Watson. "Did you see hanging at Is-Sur-Tille?" Senator Watson asked. "Yes." "What did they hang him to" "A limb." "Before being lynched the negro was arrested by a mob of white men," Bell said. "What did they arrest him for?" Chairman Brandegee asked. "The only thing I know they arrested him for was to kill him." Pressed by the chairman, Bell said the negro was lynched because he "was going with a French girl and white soldiers got sore." When the negro was cut down Bell said he decided he'd better leave the scene while the leaving was good. The shooting of William Fauntleroy, a colored acting corporal, by a marine guard who was taking him to prison at St. Nazaire for being drunk, was testified to by W. L. Davis, colored, of Savannah, Ga. "Fauntleroy was so drunk he could not stand on his feet," said Davis. "The guards took him by the arms and just after they started we heard a shot, the guards saying the soldier had attempted to attack them. But he was too drunk for that, and the next day they gave the dead man a military funeral. Judge Orders Pastor Away From Church NEW ORLEANS, La., Feb. 18—Discharge at a congregational meeting which he is alleged to have bolted. Rev. John White maintains he is still shepherd of the flock at Mount Pilgrim Fourth Baptist Church, 429 Newton Street. He is contesting the right of Rev. Isaiah Vincent, newly-elected pastor. Rev. White Tuesday asked Judge King in Civil District Court to dissolve a temporary injunction granted some weeks ago to Rev. Vincent and the church board. He said there was no cause for action, as he had been illegally deprived of his pastorate. Judge King overruled him, however, and the injunction will hold until the hearing for a permanent order, which will come up in a few days. Some weeks ago members of the Mount Pilgrim Church decided they wanted a change in their sermon menu. Accordingly a meeting of the church was called. Rev. White, sensing what was to come, is said to have bolted the meeting. Undeterred, however, the board elected Rev. Isaiah Vincent in his stead. Rev. White refused to give up his pulpit to Rev. Vincent when the latter came to church and the court action resulted. Preacher Talked About Deacon's Wife, Suit Follows ORANGEBURG, S. C., Feb. 18. The Rev. Nelson C. Nix, pastor of Mt.

Sullivan's court Thursday, to answer charges of attempting to murder Miss Mani McCray, who was employed at the doctor's home, 4201 W. Roosevelt Road, as a maid. According to her story, the maid was working at the doctor's home, 4201 W. Roosevelt Road, in September, 1921, when some jewels were missed. The physician and his son tried to force her to admit she had stolen them by torturing her, she said. Put Revolver in Mouth "They removed my clothes—to them off," said the maid. "They me in a chair. They put a rope around my neck and attempted to choke me. They threw hot ashes on my breast. They flourished a revolver before my face. They discharged the revolver. Then they put the revolver in my mouth and threatened to kill me." The witness halted. "Go on with your story," said an assistant state's attorney. Showed Her Skeleton "They shouted at me, yelled at me to confess. Then they took me to a closet and showed me a skeleton and rattled its bones. That's what's left of another girl who stole from us, they said." The police arrived while the alleged tortures were being inflicted—made a thorough investigation. The arrest and indictments of the doctor and his sons followed. Evidence presented was insufficient to sustain the charge of attempted murder. The jury, however, brought in a verdict of misdemeanor, carrying with it a fine of $500 and one year's imprisonment. The doctor and his sons immediately took an appeal. Sentence was suspended pending the appeal. Doctor Kills Self To Escape Illness ALBANY, Ga., Feb. 18.—Preferring death to a life of ill health, Dr J. M.

EIGHT PAGES Put Revolver in Mouth Showed Her Skeleton The Dixie Flyer PRICE BULLETIN 2 RUM SCANDAL "SICKENING" TO LANDIS Nastiest Thing In 17 Years On Bencm He Says BOOTLEGGER SOUAWKS Paid Politician $1200 To Clear Him, Was Doublecrossed An attempt on the part of Walter B. Flowers, 5000 South Wabash Avenue, to regain possession of whiskey that had been seized by government agents, precipitated a booze scandal in the Federal court Friday which Judge K. M. Landis called "heart-breaking after seventeen years on the Federal bench." The exposure, which was one of the most sensational in the history of booze scandals, shook the Federal building, and involved Col. John V. Clinin, assistant U. S. district attorney, and Samuel McGowan, Sixth Ward politician. Flowers had been arrested for a drink of whiskey he sold a prohibition agent on a C. & A. train in 1921. The same day seven cases of whiskey were taken from his home. After an arrangement between Flowers and McGowan, a "no bill" was returned by the Federal grand jury. Flower's attorneys then filed a petition to recover the whiskey. When this petition came to the attention of District Attorney Clyne, he ordered a reopening of the case and Flowers was given a jail sentence. Flowers then "squawked," claiming he had been "double-crossed." When Judge Landis heard of the double-cross, he ordered Flowers into court, and the whole affair was bared. McGowan confessed that he received more than $1,200 from Flowers. He also stated that he had urged Colonel Clinnin to do as much as he could in justice and fairness" for Flowers. No charge was made, however, that Clinnin received any of the money. During the questioning, Judge Landis brought out the fact that both Flowers and McGowan were members of Mt. Hebron Lodge No. 29, Masonic Fraternity. No further action was taken pending an investigation from Washington.

KEAN Calumet 250 2009 Michigan Avenue Careless Address May Slow Up Your Mail The failure to use the designation Nort or South, East or West, as may be required, when addressing mail to the residents of Chicago, seriously slows up the distribution and delivery of local mail. These designations are just as necessary as the name of the street or the number of the house, for the failure to use them frequently involves a delay of from twelve to twenty four hours, according to Postmaster Arthur C. Leuder. For instance, if John Jones lives at 1100 South Wood Street, and the writer fails to indicate that it is south the letter would be sent north first, because experience teaches that a greater number of such letters can be delivered north, and it would go through every process of delivery, right to the carrier himself, who is the only one who would know whether John Jones lives at that number or whether there is such a number. He would mark the envelope "Not north" or "No such number north," and the process would then be reversed and the mail returned to the Main Post Office and sent southwest to Douglas Park Station, and be delivered at 1100 South Wood Street, twelve or twenty four hours late. Thousands of letters of this kind are re-handed and delayed in this manner every day. It is well to remember that Madison Street is the dividing line North and South, while State Street is the dividing line East and West. Mary B.

Sunday morning all of his own flock and many others were in the church at 10:30 to witness this wonderful sermon. When Dr. Johnson, in his easy, fluent style opened up the theme and compared it to the life of people of the present time, the spiritual side of his followers began to become manifest by the loud Amen's. As he proceeded the shouting became general. Even the staid and elderly men in the audience were visibly affected by his eloquence. Mr. Ford S. Black (Blue Book) remarked to the writer that Dr Johnson stood in the first line of pulpit orators in Chicago.

Drexel 6752 READ - THE - WHIP SHREVEPORT, La., Feb. 18—Assorting that their verdict was rendered in response to popular demand rather than on the facts that developed by trial of the case, members of the jury in the Floyd Abrams murder case tried last week at Columbia, La., are supporting a movement for a new trial. Abrams was convicted of the murder of Sidney Manheim, station agent at Columbia, September 13, 1921. He did not deny having been around the station with two other men the day of the murder, but claimed he had caught a freight train and at the time of the killing was seven miles away. One of the other men was arrested and identified and then lynched 100 yards from the scene of the murder. AFRICA A LAND OF MISUNDERSTANDINGS AFRICA A LAND OF MISUNDERSTANDINGS By Wm. Anthony Aery HAMPTON, VA., Feb. 18—Dr. Thomas Jesse Jones, who was an associate chaplain at Hampton Institute from 1902 to 1009 and is now the educational director of the Phelps-Stokes Fund, spoke recently in Ogden Hall, Hampton Institute, on "Some of the Misunderstandings Concerning Africa." Doctor Jones outlined his trip through Sierra Leone, Liberia, the Gold Coast, Nigeria, Angola, South Africa, and along 2,500 miles of the Congo River from its head waters to its mouth. He stated that there was much misunderstanding concerning the resources and beauty of Africa, as well as concerning health conditions, the African himself, and the contacts of races, especially the contact of the white race. The African death rate among babies ranges from 300 to 700 in each thousand, according to Doctor Jones, who also described the sad condition of people who have been stricken with the sleeping sickness. "If you play the game with Africa, however, Africa will play the game with you," said Doctor Jones, in referring to the experience which he and his associates had in traveling long distances in Africa without any injury to their health. He added: "When civilization penetrates Africa, then Africa will respond." Doctor Jones referred to the excellent service which was rendered to the Commission by a native African, J. E. K. Aggrey, who has served as a professor in Livingston College, Salisbury, N. C. After awhile the world is going to quit looking for good men and begin looking for those things that make men good.

The maid, however, found no indications of cuts or bruises on Mrs. Robenson when she attended her misses in her room immediately after her return from the ride with Captain Kenahan. Mangum's Story Robert Mangum is a skilled horseman, as are most of the Tenth Cavalrymen. He states that he had taken his buckskin horse out for exercise, and that on the way out he purchased a pint of tequila, which he drank as he rode down the canyon trail and dismounted some distance away. He fell asleep, and when he awoke his horse was gone. He then walked back to camp, presuming his horse had returned to the stable. He suspected nothing. But the next morning after this happening he was hailed before Captain Scott on a charge of attempting criminal assault on Mrs. Robenson, and without the least opportunity to prove his innocence, he was simply retained and horribly beaten to force from him a concession of the crime he did not commit. Mangum is being defended by Attorney Ralph W. Langworthy, assisted by Senator Norton Chase. These attorneys will ask for a military investigation that the truth regarding the whole affair may be revealed. 5724 So. State Street Chicago, Ill.

Opera Prominent Citizens Secure Boxes Argument for "Martha" at Auditorium (The Story concluded.) (A correction: The cuts inserted over the names of Miss Dobson and Mrs. Boone should have been in vice-versa position. Also the statement in "The Story" that the "country squires took the hansel—binding them, etc." should have read as context shows: that the ladies took the hansel etc—Printers error.) Act III Scene: The hunt. The tenants recognize their servants. They assert their rights but the ladies' scorn them. Sorrowfully. Lionel tells the story to the astonished court. The ladies pronounce him insane. Lord Tristan sends Lionel to prison for his presumption, although Lady Harriet and Nancy beg for his pardon. Lionel has in his possession a ring which had been given him by his father, who said it would protect him from all harm, if he showed it to the Queen. Lionel gives it to Plunkett. Act IV Lady Harriett feels remorse for her hauntiness. She visits the prisoner to crave his pardon and tell the prisoner that she has carried the ring to the Queen and that he has been recognized as Lord Derby's son, once banished from the Court, but who has been proven innocent. Lady Harriett (Martha) offers her hand and heart to Lionel. He believes himself to be duped—rejects her. She loves Lionel and resolves to win him. She disappears and again dresses in peasant's attire—also does Nancy. They again visit the fair. Plunkett brings Lionel there to Richmond). I Lionel sees his beloved "Martha" advancing to meet him—promising to renounce all splendors of court—and to live only for him. He becomes happy again and weds her. His name and possessions are restored to him. Plunkett obtains the hand of "Julia." (Re-read!).

Now, a great deal of the misuse of Martha at the Auditorium on Washington's Birthday is: Because Opera presented by Negroes is a brand new venture. On the previous appearance—both nights—the house was packed with musicians and close friends of the performers. The average citizen must be reached, interested and brought along—it is up to YOU. Act $ ^{3} $ III The Argument: Why—and How to Do So. Opera, after all, is a first-class musical show. Tell them so. Read the story. Then understand it, and come and enjoy the music and the characterization. When J. A. Mundy and the cast succeeds it is a marked success of the Race. Otherwise, IT WOULD CERTAINLY BE YOUR FAULT. Act IV Now, Mr. Samuel Insul, President, Chicago Grand Opera Company; Mrs. Archibald Freer, Head of Opera in Our Language Foundation, and many other prominent people have secured boxes for "Martha," so, it seems logical to believe that many more prominent persons will follow suit. It is expected that You will follow. Altho, Evening American, The Evening Post, The Chicago Daily News and other big dailies have given much credit to the performance by this company, all realize that imperfections are eliminated by time and encouragement. Too, the Opera Company realizes that and have worked very hard to please the public in that matter—to please you—the Big Critics are satisfied with the work. The End Finally, an opera company with all Negro artists was destined to mature. In other things have Negroes ventured and succeeded. Remember: Douglas, the other Washington, Aldridge, Gillpin, Colonel Chas. Young and several groups—and half a hundred "top line" individual musicians? Well, who has attempted Opera? Yet, it is due. A. Not ready?—Bosh! Neither was abolition, prohibition, certain franchises, etc., until SOME ONE pulled a test case. J.A. Mundy and the company is pulling a test case. A second case shows determination. So let shoot the whole works and go down and back-them up. Why not? If we back the young musician and the strong company who tripped over to the Aryan Grotto Temple and filled the house for two nights, then his success is OURS.

HOPE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH Dr. Williams, Pastor Hope Presbyterian Church is getting a new spirit in its midst. The progressive spirit within its membership and the excellent leadership of its pastor is responsible for this attitude. The singing by the choir is a feature that is drawing people from all over the city. Trustee Edward S. Brantley and Mrs. Julia French have arranged to bring the noted Different Kind of Concert Company to our Church on the 14th of March. Tuesday. Miss Ruth French is appearing with this company. We invite the public, especially churches near us, to be present with us on that date. St. Catherine's A. M. E. Zion Church Rev. R. B. Hendricks, Pastor Sunday was a great day at St. Catherine's Church. The several members who became added to our flock were impressed by the sermons of our pastor and the hearty cooperation of its membership. The services are always filled with the spirit and the branching out into big things is a feature. Mr. Howlett has arranged to have the D. K. of C.

Williams, D. D., Pastor The Young Ladies' Double Quartet of the Olivet Church responded last Wednesday afternoon to an invitation from the University of Chicago to sing before the faculty and student body. The young sang in the Ida Noyes Hall, the finest building for women in the world. Under the direction of Mme. Myrtle Winfry they did credit to the race and lived up to the reputation of the Olivet Baptist Church. Since the pastor spoke at the University a few weeks ago, the faculty and students know where to go when they want something worth while. The services at Olivet were well attended all day last Sunday the pasters were all in their places and preached inspiring sermons. Dr Williams sermon on "The Personality of the Devil."

Metropolitan Community Center The new life being revived in the Great Community Center, under Reverend Dr. W. D. Cook, Director and Pastor, H. A. Watkins, Treasurer and Ch. Program Board of Directors and J. Wesley Jones, Musical Director was made evident by the unusually large attendance Sunday morning and the gala semi-circle of Ministers, Statesmen and Church Officers who graced the platform Sunday Evening. The morning text was expounded by Reverend Dr. White from Detroit. The pastor, Dr. Cook and a selection led by J. Wesley Jones set the audience on fire. The demonstration was great. Two thousand people joined in the singing. They felt the Spirit, Dr. Clark and Ebenezer Pays Visit At three o'clock, the Pastor of Ebenezer and his Choir brought along their congregation. The Auditorium was packed. When Rev. Dr. Clark turned on his spiritual sermon, the whole situation seemed like a baptist camp meeting. Shouting was the rule. Dr. Clark said: "When you came to visit us, we saw your inside and now, Ebenezer has joined with the Center to go with you to the end!" "Amen!" Amen!" came from all over the house. Reverd R. H. McGavock from Bethel, Rev. Hubbard from Morning Star, Rev. Samue, and others were upon the platform. The Choir with Mr. F. J. Brock, Director and Miss Thelma Dorsey organ sang again into the hearts of the Center. 107 dollars collected. Congressmen, Statesmen and Aldermen present In the evening before the Sunday Evening Club the Lincoln Day address was delivered by Honorable Martin B. Madden. Madden treated the subject from a modern angle: "It is the spirit of Lincoln—here today, of which I shall speak" he said. After a thorough exposition of the life of Lincoln and the things for which he stood, Congressman Madden reviewed the post-bellium situation, the Negro in the War and the different legislations pertinent to the Negro in America. The part taken by Mr. Madden in the Dyer Bill was heartily enforced. Reverend Dr. Cook responded by saying that as God always found a man for every emergency: Moses, Jesus, Douglas, and Lincoln, he found also a Martin B. Madden to watch our end of the legislation at Washington. (Applause prolonged.) Upon the rostrum were Hon A. H. Roberts, Ed. H. Wright, Oscar DaPriest, Aldermon Louis B. Anderson and R. R. Jackson, Editor Prattie and Taylor also W. A. Ellis (The Whip), Morris Lewis, Chas. A. Griffin, Sandy W. Trice, H. A. Watkins, and Mr. Harrison, (Minister's name not secured.) The singing by the quartet with J. Wesley Jones was a special number The Choir was at its best. Both next Sunday and the fourth Sunday will be great days. Congressman Madden Is Appomatox Club Guest Sunday Congressman Madden Is Appomatox Club Guest Sunday A large and enthusiastic membership of the club greeted Congressman Madden at the Appointatty Club Sunday evening. An interesting program was rendered. Dr. Carl G. Roberts, master of ceremonies, introduced Mr. S. A. T. Wainks, who is few chosen words, spoke of how the congressman held off the appropriation, forcing action on the Dyer Anti-Lynching bill. He expressed the appreciation and gratification of the club, to have as a guest on the club, such a champion of human rights. Hon. Edward H. Wright spoke eloquently and fittingly of the congressman's eighteen years' service in the House of Representatives, showing in detail how Martin B. Madden has carried forward, by his influence and vote, every measure for the protection of and justice to every citizen, regardless of religious affiliation or racial identity, under the constitution. The flow of eloquence was halted for a moment to listen to music by Mr. Jones' quartette, of the Metropolitan Social Center, after which Hon. Oscar DePriest—after an eloquent plea of Dr. Roberts for an appointment from the first congressional district of a member of our racial group to follow in the foot-steps and be a worthy successor of that elegant gentleman and brave soldier, the late martyrred Colonel Young—spoke of his long and happy association with the congressman, and how Mr. Madden, in the face of ridicule, has championed the cause of our group. Mr. DePriest grew eloquent in his praise for Madden's Lincoln-like stand for all rights of every citizen under the constitution, and in conclusion said: "Any man big enough, brave enough to stand so consistently and with such unyielding courage, is great enough for the highest honor in the gift of the people of the United States—the PRESIDENCY. Mr. Madden arose mid the deafening plaudits of those assembled—every man rose to express his gratification to Mr. Madden for his excellent work for the passage of the "Anti-Lynching bill." The congressman spoke calmly and deliberately—though eloquently, of his part in the recent great drama entitled "The Passage of the Anti-Lynching Bill." He portrayed how he whispered words of comfort to those representatives who were doubtful, and sat at their side when time for voting came, with the result that each man—listening though painfully, at his whisperings, voted in the affirmative. Finally, with a plea for righteous justice for every citizen under the constitution, he said that any group of people who offered 480,000 men on the altar of sacrifice for the protection and maintenance, not only of democracy for our own country, but of world's democracy, are entitled to every privilege, every protection, and equal opportunity to rise to aspire and to hope for all that and other citizen enjoys under the great American flag. ```markdown ``` OI NOSEY overheard a young man telling another young man how his haste got him trouble. It seemed that he was trying to quit his girl for another girl who seemed to beaucoup everything—beauty, real estate, money and health. Well, he had failed to keep a date with this new girl and was sitting framing his excuses when his phone rang. He plunged in making excuses as soon as he heard the feminine voice on the other end of the wire. The lady let him rave on until he had said enough to prove that he thought she was the one and only one girl in the world. The voice on the other end proceeded to unload such choice sarcasm which neatly melted the wires like it melted the young man's collar. In the meantime his new girl gets really peeved and he is now without either new girl or old girl. Haste certainly makes waste sometimes. ```markdown ``` ONE SHOULD get rid or all of the love letters, unless he is not afraid of the blackmail gang. Nosey heard a young woman pleading with a young man to return to her the letters that he found belonging to her. It seems that the young man quit working after he found the letters and made the young lady contribute a weekly stipend to his support under the threat of exposure to her husband. Now her husband has lost his job and the money is not torturing for the young man. The young lady told him at their last meeting that she would not pawn any of her personal property to keep him from working. She showed him a revolver that she had bought and advised him to not only bring back the letters, but also some of her cash by the next night or he would not live to see the light of Sunday. To make a long story short—the young man was alive Sunday and in church and the lady burned her letters as she should have done when she first got them. --- SOME PEOPLE possess real genius and do not know it. One poor old married man came in his house after he had just made a killing in a little game. His wife had instructed him that he would have to pay her war tax on all of his winnings or else he could not stay out at night and play. As he sat down to his meal he knew that the eagle eye of his wife was upon him and his pocket. He skillfully took the gum out of his mouth and proceeded to stick his roll under the table by means of the chewing gum. Then he told wife that he had lost in spite of the fact that some one had told her that he had won a roll. Everything went well until the little dog got hold of the roll and started showing it up on the floor in trout of swimming an hourly. He had a hit and in no time the roll box with a rolling pin was on the floor without his winnings and will have to wait again before he can go home. He has decided to pay his income tax to his now. --- EVERYTHING IS NOT gold that glitters is truer now than it was years ago. Nosey saw another of the grasping young society celebrities draw a blank. He had his ear down to the LaSalle Street Station to meet an heiress who was due to arrive in town from the southern oil region. She had been told by friends in the South that this young man was an ideal chap. She had letters of introduction to him. He had visions of marriage and a Rolls Royce hint when the lady stepped off the train in all her backwood spedition the young Beau Brimmel backed on the scene and left the lady to the tender moment of a crowd of taxi drivers. He has left word at his office to tell her that he is out of the city some of his friends are still asking him about the little heiress and he pretties that he knows nothing about it. Youth, beauty and wealth seldom go together. YOU CAN NEVER tell what is going to fall on you these days. Nosey was walking along in the rear of some buildings which face on Indiana Avenue early the other morning when a milk bottle barely missed his head. On looking up he heard a voice say, "Sch-h-h-h." Then Nosey knew. The man huddled up on the last landing of the fire escape could not get any further down. He could not make that jump and was trying to pass the night there. When Nosey would not consent to get him a ladder, he wanted Nosey then to get him an army blanket. If it had not been so cold Nosey would have waited to see what the morning brought. At any rate, in the flat three flights up there was an awful row and the wife cut an awful beating. Neighbors saw it was caused by the hubby finding an extra overcoat in his parlor.

OSCAR DEPRIEST READ THE WHIP STAGE AND SCREEN 6 VAUDEVILLE AND MOVIE REVIEW BILLY KING COMES BACK STRONG AT GRAND By Dave Peyton Billy King & Co. in a brand new play, opened the eyes of the spectators on Monday night. Something new was offered in the way of entertainment that will make this engagement a profitable one Mr. King also presents a real Blue singer, who won instant favor in an original style of Blue's rendition; her name is Sahral Martin and a newcomer up here. Miss Ethel Jackson, a young lady with a sweet voice, sang Georgia Rose, and King & Rodders reminded us of the old time of Ward & Vokes in the duet singing of Red, White and Blue. Edna Hicks, our own Chicago girl, was greatly applauded in her spot, and The Everybody Step, led by Billy Cornell, was a snappy closing for the first part. The second part, a Ladies' Minstrel, was entertaining, until the premier Mimic Dancing Comedians entered. They are Scott, Thomas and Rae, and they really stopped everything for a minute. The last scene, set in (Ready's) Home, afforded music, mirth and comedy, Margaret Scott, Edmonia Henderson, Wm. Gunn and Geneva Stearn sang beautifully, and the Performers' Reception wah hilariously funny. This is a fine show and its production will farther perpetuate Mr. King's popularity with the people. Mr. Rodgers, who works the comedy portions with Mr. King, is natural and really funny and does not overdo his work as he did a year ago. The "Whirl of Joy" will remain only two weeks, so get in early to the box office. THE AVENUE THEATRE Mr. Norman is presenting D. W. Griffith's great master photo for the week, "Way Down East," and in conjunction a first class 4-act vaudeville bill. THE MONOGRAM The Great Lincoln Players missed the train and couldn't open here on Monday night. Mr. Harry jenkins secured a good vaudeville bill for the night. Mr. Miller, the popular proprietor, says the Lincoln Players will open on Tuesday night with Arron Gates as the producer. WITH THE ACTORS Geo. Taylor's "Africana" "Africana," a show that closed at the Grand on Sunday night, Feb. 12, met with disaster on the train the same night. The manager had promised to pay the performers their salary when they got on the train. He didn't, so all but fourteen got off at Englewood and returned to the city. The Smarter Set Salen and Tutt Whitney's Smarter Set Co. are in dire financial difficulties. It is reported that they cannot get one of town, as the business has been very bad. We wish them all success in rem- edying the condition. Shuffle Along This show will open here (Chicago) in April at the Olympic Theater. Shuffle Along has run almost a solid year in New York, and is pronounced the best Broadway show this season. Shuffle Along No. 2 Company A Number Two company is in rehearsal and will take the place of the original company when they come to Chicago. Frank Montgomery and Florence McClain are playing in vaudeville in the east. The Dunbun Players will return to the Grand in about three weeks. Simms & Warfield are doing nicely on the Loew Time and booked solid. Austin & De Laney are going great on the Keith Time. Creole Cocktail Co. made a great hit at the State-Lake, Chicago, last week. John Mason & Co. went over great at the Avenue last week. This week they are at Indianapolis. Did You Ever Musical Exchange Offers Advantages To Members The Chicago Musical Exchange, 59 E.

CLOSING FIGHT Declaring that the police must either arrest law violators or else let them alone altogether, Judge Dennis E. Sullivan in the Superior Court last Tuesday indicated that he would grant an injunction to the Sunset Cafe, 315 E. Thirty-fifth st., restraining the city from closing the place at 1 a. m. "There is no law anywhere' providing that a policeman can go and by simply standing at the door of a place, abate a nuisance," the judge said. "In such cases the policeman constitutes himself judge and jury and the citizen is denied his day in court." Assistant Corporation Counsel Veeder contended that the police have the power to regulate anything in the city which appears to be a nuisance, or which it is given cause to believe might develop into a nuisance. "There is absolutely nothing in the statutes anywhere that allows the police to 'regulate' a nuisance," Judge Sullivan replied. "If a thing is a nuisance, it must be stopped—not merely 'regulated.' "Mr. Veeder, you have placed yourself in the position of saying that at five minutes before 1 o'clock this place is all right, and that at five minutes after 1 o'clock it is violating the law. If they are violating the law, why don't you refuse them? "This thing of going in without warrants or orders from courts is all wrong. People will soon have no regard for law." The tramp is often a man who has invented a labor saving machine which put him out of a job. A man may know a great deal without knowing the little which will enable him to free himself and the world of exploitation.

Fireman THE WORLD OF SPORTS Wm.Matthews Picks All-American, All Negro Team William C. Matthews Before the curtain is finally run down on foot ball for this season, permit me to break in to the All-American choosing Class by naming a Colored All-American Football team of All Times. In choosing this team I have in mind its ability to play all styles of foot ball from the Flying Wedge down to the present modernized game. First we shall choose for center of this team, William H. Lewis or Harvard. Lewis played Center at Harvard in 1895 when the Flying Wedge, formed before the kick-off, was used. Although during his time the men who played on the line were usually very heavy, Lewis only weighed 126 lbs. and was reputed to be so agile that he used to shoul most end runs of the onposing teams. We will choose for the guards of that team, Trigg of Syracuse, who played on the fast team of that university which boasted one of the strongest lines in its history. The other guard is Braighad of Amherst, who captained the best team the Massachusetts Agricultural College ever had. For tackle, we will choose Bob Shater, 1921 of Iowa, who was considered the greatest football player produced in any of the colleges of last fall (1921). The other tackle is Brown of Tulips, who played on the Tulips team of 1910 which defeated Harvard. Brown was fast, aggressive and a tireless worker. We will name as left end next to Brown, Paul Robeson, who weighs 100 lbs, an expert at the forward pass, a deadly tackler and a fast man down the field under pumps. The other end is Marshall of Minnesota, who played about 1906. We choose Marshall over Chadwell of Williams, over "Ink" Williams of Brown over Matthew of ure as Death mpany manufactures Caskets. image it has the colored under- erica.

Harvard, because of his ability to drop kick and to punt besides his other sterling qualities as an end. As quarter back of this team, there is no one in sight who could equal Johnson, one time famous quarter back and captain of the Carlsle Indian School. Johnson was a master player, seldom ever dropped a punt and ran back kicks like a deer. Other backs are Pollard of Brown, one of the most elusive players known to the game; Shelbourne of Dartmouth, full back and West of Washington and Jefferson. When we realized the small number of colored men who have played on famous teams throughout the country, it will be seen what a wonderful team the above-named eleven men would form. A team that could play any style of game, a team which could meet any style of offense and which would be as strong on the offense as on the defense. As the second team "Ink" Williams of 1921 of Brown and Chadwell 1901 of Williams would without doubt defeat the honors with Matt Bullock of Dartmouth and Matthews of Harvard, Marshall, (Williams) of 1909, and Jones, (Harvard) 1904, would make a strong aggressive pair of tackles while Morrison, (Tutts) 1914, and Johnson, (Dartmouth) 1908, would be superb running mates to Craighead and Trigg of the first team, Pickett, (Amherst) 1907, who played such a wonderful game against Yale and received honorable mention by the Yale Coaches would make an excellent understudy of William H. Lewis, the greatest center of all times. Pierson, who played at Andover in 1896, although he didn't go to college, was considered one of the best men who ever faced Wm. H. Lewis in the line.

MAGNATES TO MAKE 1922 BANNER YEAR Strife Has Been Buried and All Clubs Are Pulling Together The N. N. League, composed of Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Detroit, Chicago, Indianapolis, St. Louis, Kansas City and Carlin Stars, is looking forward to the most pro-perfect season in the history of the league. All of the magnates are working in perfect accord and though strife was in evidence during the recent meeting of the league at Chicago, all has been buried, and the officials have banded themselves together to make the approaching season the best in every way. They are anxious to give the fans of the Middle-West the best brand of baseball they have ever had, and every thing possible is going to be done to realize this ambition. Whether the alleged failure of the joint conference of moguls in Chicago to put into effect any of the proposed legislation for retrenchment is to be taken as a cheering sign of confident optimism, or to be criticized as evidence that the club owners are so blindly stand-pat by nature and habit that their case is hopeless, depends upon the point of view, and only time can tell the story. It is quite a welcome relief, however, to find the magnates so coincident all at once, when a brief two months ago a majority of them were so sure that only rigid economy would permit baseball to live through the period of economic unrest. There is not, so far as disclosed, and change in conditions to cause this different attitude, which leads to the conclusion that the wave of pessimism was as suggested by this writer recently, just a winter disease of baseball that soon would be passed through. We still believe, without meaning to sound and to tacom of alarm, that it would have been advisable to have drawn in a bit here and there, particularly in the matter of player limits. Eighteen and twenty bushies are to many to be carrying around, to say nothing of the saving that might be made in these days of transportation war tax and increased hotel rates. But it is a long while until the season opens and there is yet time to change regulations to conform to conditions that may develop. New Managers Never before in the history of the league has such an aggregation of capable managers been gotten together. There are several new ones, in addition to the best of the old ones, and all of them are looking forward to the worst race the Western circuit ever had. Though the salary limit is expected to be smaller than it has been in some time, there are plenty of tast ball players available and the matter of salary is expected to be satisfactorily arranged. Financial difficulties arose during last season, and for a time it looked as it St. Louis would drop out and not be a member of the league this season. However, as is characteristic of the spirit of the organization, the magnates of the league put their heads together and arranged matters so that the St. Louis club could remain in the circuit. The Mound city is situated so as to be a good Western circuit town, and just why it can not make money is hard to understand. However, this season the other clubs will help, and the Mound cities are expected to have a successful year. There have been very few Negroes who have played the position of quarter back on the larger university teams so for the second team we will put quarter back, Matthews of Harvard, 1905, who played quarter back for Harvard on Dave Campbell's team as a freshman in all of the early games, including the West Point game where he was injured. He played through the game and Harvard was the only team in the country to defeat West Point this season. For full back, Gale of Springfield Y. M. C. A., 1916, seems to have the call on Gibson of the same school. Without doubt Henry Bullock, who sojourned only a few months at Dartmouth, had he been eligible to play would have probably gone down in history as one of the greatest backs of ALL TIMES. While this list of famous players probably does not include all of the colored men who have excelled in their particular positions, yet these teams represent the best men for the positions I have seen played and concerning whom I have information. THE CHICAGO WHIP SPORTIVELY PEAKING A basket ball in Blanchett's hand looks about as good to the opposing players, as a cat does to a mouse. The Hyde Park Ace not being satisfied with bringing his team's score within one point of Phillip's lead in the last few minutes of play with a basket and free throw, had eluded the field and was in striking distance of the basket when the final whistle blew. Oh, you whistle! Jack Kearns, Dempsey's manager, has located a mythical fight promoter in England. Wonder if Marcus Garvey's ship brought the letter over? Defender A, C. won all games in the East but three, reminds us Sox beat all teams in the East, excepting Boston, New York and Washington. Court decides shimmy is not dancing because the same space is occupied continuously. Wanted! A new name for bicycle racing. If the fighter who beats Wills contends he is colored heavyweight champion Jack does the trick what will Dem-Sey? Ray Pierson in the Chicago Daily Tribune is staging a series of mythical bouts between present and former star battlers. What about a Caesar-Hindenburg confab. Ray? Washington of Englewood looks like another Howard Drew, the youngster stepped out and won the 50 and 420-yard run Saturday in easy fashion from a field of favorites. Phillips to play in finals is cope, but beating Crane is something else again. Too Much Spears In a determined effort to gain an advantage left undecided when the two teams staged a 10-10 tie earlier in the season, the Wendell Philips and the Tilden Heavys staged one of the best games ever played in the Tilden gym. Tuesday afternoon. It was a great game featured with long shots and close guarding, every point registered was well earned, for the boys fought desperately, both teams were out to win at any cost, and not until the final whistle blew did either concede victory to the other. Too Much Spears The most that might be said of Spears Philips center is hardly enough, time and again with Tilden leading and fighting desperately to strengthen their lead it was Spears who came to the front with basket after basket putting his team in the lead. Loften of Philips and Vascowsky of Tilden also starred. The lightweights victory came as a surprise as the Tilden quintette ruled favorite at the outset. It was the first lightweight win this season. The boys showed a complete reversal of form, started fast and was never overtaken, the final score being 16-4 in their favor. This victory makes Philips undisputed champions of the central section with a right to compete in the finals. OHIOANS TO STAGE TOURNAMENT The Hi "Y" Boys of the State of Ohio are making plans to conduct a state basketball tournament in Dayton, Ohio, on the 3rd and 4th of March. The clubs are composed of high school boys and work in connection with the Y. M. C. A. This is the first attempt to promote organized athletes among the clubs. Teams from Dayton, Springfield, Columbus, and Cincinnati will play in the tournament. A large bronze medal will be given to the club winning the state championship. Interest in the tournament is running high and it expected to be a real event in the state among the lovers of clean sport. The boys' department of the Fifth Street Branch, Y. M. C. A., Dayton, Ohio, under the direction of O. O. Mörris is in charge of the tournament. If Christianity prays for universal brotherhood, it should work for universal organization of industry so as to make brotherhood possible. PHILLIPS DOWN HYDE PARK. 10-9 PHILLIPS DOWN HYDE PARK. 10-9 In a determined effort to get sweet revenge for their 8-7 defeat at the hands of Hyde Park earlier in the season and at the same time clenching their place in the semi-finals, the fast Wendall Philip's quintette emerged victorious over Hyde Park. Friday afternoon at Phillip's Gymnasium in what was undoubtedly the best and most spectacular contest ever staged on the local floor. It was anybody's game until the final whistle in fact it was one of those games where the slightest break of luck or mishap is likely to change victory into defeat. Blanchett a Star Blanchett, the Hyde Park center was the outstanding star of the game. Scoring seven of his team's total of nine points was in almost every play, and once he gained possession of the ball was a difficult man to stop. The results of this game assures Phillips a place in the semi-finals, and a win over Tilden Tuesday will carry them to the finals. Heavyweights W. Phillips (10) B. F. P. T.

GLENWOOD The Coming Cemetery of Chicago and Cook.County Mount Glenwood Cemetery, located twenty-two miles south of the City Hall, between the villages of Thornton and Glenwood, contains one hundred and three acres, more or less, or land which has been improved at an expense of Two Hundred Thousand ($200,000). Dollars, which improvements consist of landscaping, macadam roadways, trees, shrubbery, three sets of ornamental iron gates, a chapel and superintendent's quarters with modern improvements. Thorn Creek runs through the cemetery, adding greatly to the natural beauty of the grounds. The cemetery is surrounded by a county forest preserve and thereby receives the benefit of the natural beauty of those tracts. The cemetery contains fifty thousand lots, of which approximately fifteen thousand have been sold, and twenty-two thousand additional lots are to be sold within a six-mouth period commencing Feb. 1, 1922. The remaining lots will be divided up into single graves for single burials for the future. One-half of the cemetery has been fully developed, laid out, beautified and completed. The same work on the remaining portion will be finished in the early summer of 1922. A complete waterworks will be built and in operation about that time, for the purpose of supplying water throughout the cemetery. Lots up to and including the present time have been sold at prices ranging from $75.00 to $400.00. There were no lots sold for any less than $75.00 since the present improvements were completed. It is now proposed by officers of the cemetery to sell the twenty-two thousand lots for the flat price of $50.00 each, instead of $75.00 and upwards, as heretofore. These lots are to be sold on the installment plan. The purchaser will pay $10.00 down upon the signing of the contract and $10.00 or more per month until the full purchase price is paid. In addition to title to the lot the purchasers shall each receive two shares of stock for each lot purchased by them, which stock is now being sold for $15.00 per share. The lot owners will have a double interest in the cemetery, that of lot owner and that of stockholder. As a part of the revenue of the company about $1.50 per year will be collected from each lot owner as a fixed expense for watering the lots and cutting the grass for the purpose of keeping the cemetery in first-class condition. This is a sum considerably less than is usually charged by other cemeteries for like services. It cannot be too strongly emphasized and borne in mind that while the cemetery is one of the most beautiful and attractive in the City of Chicago and its environs, yet the price of $50.00, not to include the stock bonus, which is easily worth $30.00, represents about 25 per cent of the selling of lots in the average cemetery. Do not fail to secure one of these choice lots while they last. It is the coming Oak Woods of cemeteries in this city. Every family and householder should own a lot thereby providing for the future for our bereaved ones just as we do in everything else. Agents will call and see you upon request and furnish full information. Call the office by Phone Victory 6254 or visit our office at 3125 S. State Street. Come and select a choice lot while you can.

State Street, has changed management; but the business will still be carried on at the same number under the name of Green Undertaking Company, Successors to J. H. and R. W. Green. Mr. James G. Jewell and Mr. G. W. O'Bee of Omaha, Nebraska, Mr. J. P. Taylor and J. H. McDermon of Chicago, Ill. have obtained the controlling interest in the business. Mr. G. W. O'Bee has successfully engaged in the undertaking business for many years. In Omaha Mr. O'Bee had the distinction of being a Deputy Coroner for ten years and was highly respected. He is a Mason of high rank, a member of the Order of Elks, Knights of Pythias, Sons and Daughters of Tabor and U. B. F., and is a member of the John R. Tanner Post of the Spanish War Veterans of Chicago. Mr. O'Bee will give his entire time to the general management of the business, and as he is not an entire stranger to Chicago, many of its older citizens will be pleased to know that he is associated in this announcement. Another thing which greatly adds to the success of this enterprise is the retention of the services of Mr. J. P. Taylor, who through his faithful connection has now an interest in the business. Mr. Taylor will retain his position as Manager and will ably assist the business, as he is well and favorably known in the undertaking business for 21 years in Chicago. Mr. Taylor has been with the Green Understaffing for eight years, and is well acquainted with the superb manner which brought them success.

LOCKED DOWN --- 7 EDITORIAL PAGE HEALTH HINTS By Dr. Troy Smith If history repeats itself we are slated for another epidemic of the disease influenza, commonly called the "flu." New York is having an epidemic of "flu" and pneumonia at present and it is customary for these diseases to spread West. Sooradic outbreaks have already occurred in certain see." The influenza or "flu" is the same disease as la gripe. Very oien the symptoms may be so mild as to stimulate a common cold. In fact most cases of the respiratory type begin as a common cold and gradually develop into more severe symptoms. The nervous formf of influenza is not accompanied with any respiratory symptoms, but is characterized by headache, pain in the back and joints, with profound prostration. In this type of the disease if the causative germs invade the brain cells encephalitis or "sleeping sickness" is the result. There is another form of this disease that attacks the stomach and intestines. In this particular type there is fever, there may be nausea and vomiting or the attack may set in with abdominal pains, profuse diarrhea and collapse. If you are attacked by any of the above types of influenza do not delay or neglect treatment, because it is the neglected cases that result seriously. The influenza cases that tare the best are those that at the beginning of the trouble take the necessary precautions. A good rule to follow in all beginning cases of this disease are: (1) Stop work. (2) Take a good hot bath so as to open the pores of the skin. (3) Take a good purgative to open up the bowels. (4) Go to bed. (5) Call the doctor and be guided by his advice. It should be impressed upon the minds of the public that influenza is catching by direct contact. Do not use the same utensils, drinking glasses, or towels that are used by a person who has even the slightest symptom of the "flu." Do not kiss a person who has the "flu." **Fliu** sufferers should be warned not to cough or sneeze near anyone without first covering their mouth and nose with a handkerchief. Promiscuous spitting at home and in public places is not only a measure to be instituted now to prevent the spread of "flu," but should be enforced at all times. The Political Pot Mr. Oscar DePriest is waging a hot fight against Wm. A. Bither, the present ward committeeman, and is growing stronger and stronger every day. He has selected Eugene Marshall, a prominent young attorney as candidate for the legislature. Mr. Marshall is a very forceful speaker and a highly educated man. The old third ward looks like the future battle ground. Dr. William H. Huff, the popular druggist, is beginning to get down to work in the third ward and is making no bones of the fact that he expects to be our next state senator. Dr. Huff has a brilliant record behind him and a host of friends who have pledged their support. Mr. Geo. Kersey is also a candidate for the legislature from the Third Ward. He is a successful business man and ranks high in fraternal circles. He was recently anti-Thompson, but he now has hat in the ring and looms up as splendid possibility. Warren B. Douglas also has his hat in the ring for the state legislature. Douglas, the wonderful orator, is keeping quiet, but he is expected to blaze forth soon. He is already incumbent with office and his friends have declared that he shall remain. Augustus L. Williams, prominent lawyer and director in the Public Life Insurance Company, is also a candidate for the assembly. Mr. Williams is the gentleman who has been so successful in recovering damages for the riot victims. He is a strong character and is in the fight to a finish. Attorney Jas. Sims, successful attorney, is also a candidate for the state senate. He is supported by the Dineen organization and will make a good run. He is very popular among the job holders. Samuel Ettelson, present state senator, will attempt to succeed himself Mr. Ettelson is one of the most popular men in public life today and he will always run well. He is supported by Mr. DePriest and everyone knows that a fight is on. Next week for other political news Urban League Gives Out Bi-Monthly Bulletin The National Urban League announces the publication of its bi-monthly bulletin devoted to social information concerning Negroes and to the development of technique in the handling of social work for Negroes.

WE HAVE DEDICATED OURSELVES TO PUBLIC SERVICE. NO MORE HALF LOAVES The strongest races of men, and the most indomitable characters of history have always either uncompromisingly demanded every scintilla of their just rights, or, being denied the fullest measure of attainment of their ideals have spurned even life itself. Patrick Henry in crying out for "either liberty or death," voiced the sentiment of the Pilgrim Fathers, who preferred the unknown horrors of the great uncharted Western ocean and the savage-ridden land beyond to religious oppression in a comfortable home. But the American Negro is apparently satisfied with the HALF LOAF. For 250 years he was told that he was entitled to NOTHING—that he even enjoyed life itself by sufferance. His mind was so deliberately dwarfed and stunted that he could not even think to the contrary. So well was this psychology ingrained into him, that even TODAY, Race Leaders, of the OLD SCHOOL, finding it impossible to break away from this log cabin philosophy, "handed it down to so-called free men." He was so thoroughly robbed of his mentality that he complacently helped manufacture the shot and shell which enabled his masters to keep him in slavery. When Liberty and 'Citizenship were granted him, his child-like mind could not grasp their significance. He took what was given him with a thankful heart, thanks to "the teachings of the OLD SCHOOL." He has not yet demanded unequivocally all that is due him! He fears to refuse acceptance of the Half Loaf and demand the whole, trembling, lest he be denied any at all. With apologetic mein and smirking smile, he renders gratitude for Jim Crow Settlement Houses, Jim Crow Soldiers and Sailors Clubs. Jim Crow Y. M. C. A., Jim Crow Officers' Training Camps, Jim Crow churches, fraternities and politics. He thus plays the "beggar's role" in spite of the fact that he has proven himself to be an indissoluble and indivisible entity of the whole warp and woof of America, economic, political, military and social. He is the economic backbone of the South. He holds the balance of political power as he is beginning to learn. He has always been the fangs of the American army. His blood, suspected and unsuspected, flows in more veins than any other one strain in America. He is still a slave if he accepts anything short of the fullest unstinted measure of recognition and respect. THE NEW SCHOOL, breaking away from the false doctrine of the OLD SCHOOL, will never again be satisfied with EQUAL RIGHTS when they are not the SAME RIGHTS. The NEW SCHOOL, repudiating the teachings of the LOG CABIN PHILOSOPHERS, who have led him into a quagmire of peonage and serfdom, MUST and WILL spurn the Half Loaf and lay hold on the WHOLE LOAF, so "help him God." DON'T FORGET COL. CLINNIN When the Ku Klux Klan was parading in the outskirts of Chicago and making an open appeal for members, while the black people waited with bated breath for the Mayor, William H. Thompson, or the Governor, Len G. Small, to quell their activities, Col. John Clinnin, United States Attorney, noting the apathy and unconcern of the Mayor and the Governor, stepped upon the scene and began the Federal Investigation of the klan which resulted in their cessation of open hostilities. The black people should never forget Col. Clinnin; he came to our rescue when our enemies were legion and our friends few. He is now under suspicion of aiding a black man to escape the penalty of the prohibition law. We believe that Col. Clinnin is a real gentleman and an able lawyer. If the Colonel is under the ban of suspicion, now is the time to rally around him. It is regrettable that his embarrassment was caused by a bootlegger and a city hall politician. We have faith in Col. Clinnin and believe that his record will remain spotless. If he is guilty, however, the black man who "squealed" betrayed one of the best friends that his race has known. FOOLISH COMMISSIONS They have a University Race Commission in the South. It is composed of representatives from every recognized white University in the South. Virginia Military Institute, which would not tolerate the presence of Prof. Robert T. Kerlin on its faculty, has a representative. What can be done by representatives from Universities who do not believe that the door of opportunity should be opened to the black men and do not even wish to see their side of the case intelligently presented? It is noticeable that the commission lays stress upon good roads and health, but says nothing about broadening the opportunities of the black man. The southern Universities will be unable to accomplish any real good in the South until they admit the black men to their fountains of learning.

Real Estate Department The Chicago Whip in keeping with its policy of always trying to give its readers everything that it can has established a real estate department. In the past the editors, have from time to time found in their mail requests from different readers and subscribers seeking all kinds of information concerning real estate, mortgage loans and real estate loan investments. There are lots of ways that the property owners and the renters of the city of Chicago could pull together for the mutual betterment of each other. In many ways the owners and prospective owners of real estate have gone blindly into things without giving them careful consideration. There is a sore spot some place recently one of the largest white real estate brokers on the South Side said that within the last six months he had had listed with him more property owned by colored people for him to collect rents and look after the care and maintenance, than at any other time since he has been in business, and this was without any solicitation on his part. One complaint that is lodged against the colored real estate brokers is that they are not as prompt in remitting the rents after they are collected as they should be, oftimes it is nearer the last of the month than it is the first of the month, they seem to work on the theory that the first shall be last. The editors recently received a letter from one of our subscribers complaining about a certain south real estate broker who, upon the failure to consummate a real estate deal, has been hard to find so as to get back the earnest money given him to bind the bargain. The writer wanted to know what to do; we were reluctant to advise her to obtain a warrant, but when a man withholds money from its rightful owner he is guilty of a felony and can be prosecuted accordingly. Persons who contemplate the purchase of property should at all times consult a lawyer, when a real estate broker who is trying to sell you a piece of property tells you that he will look after your interests and that thereby you will save an attorney's fee, he is misinforming you for a man cannot serve two masters and do them both justice, he is representing the seller, he receives his commission from the seller and he cannot obtain for the purchaser the advantages that are due to him. The writer recalls one instance where the real estate broker told a poor trusting woman that he would look after her interests, and instead of her saving twenty five or fifty dollars which she would have had to pay an attorney, she was forced to pay out instead over one hundred and ninety dollars on items that the seller should have rightfully paid. Earnest money should be deposited in escrow subject to the joint order of both parties, thus both parties are protected and should the deal fail to be consummated, the earnest money will automatically revert to its owner. Address all communications to the REAL ESTATE DEPARTMENT, CHICAGO WIRE QUINN CHAPEL NOTES The Pastor is delivering a series of Sermons at Quinn Chapel. Sunday morning, February 19th, he will preach on the subject "Ezekiel's Valley of Dry Bones" as related to modern times. At the afternoon services an essay contest will be held. Subject "Richard Allen and His Times." Sunday night, "Supreme Love and Sacrifice," and illustrated service at 8 o'clock. The Gospel Choir will sing and a special solo, "Holy City," will be sung. New Trinity M. E. Church News New Trinity M. E. Church News New Trinity church, 3011 Prairie Ave., is growing rapidly and the public eye is focused upon her. New Trinity is doing big work for God and humanity. "A free medical and dental clinic will in a few days throw open its doors to the public. A ladies' reading parlor is near completion, and a large and thoroughly equipped gymnasium are the features of the community house of New Trinity. Every Wednesday night is prayer meeting night at Trinity and these meetings are inspirations to all who attend and furnish the spiritual warmth, necessary to carry you over until our Friday night class meetings; you will be pleased and helped by the way in which these meetings are conducted on the second floor of the community house—entrance, one door south of the church. Last Sunday morning the pastor, Rev. G. W. Baber, delivered one beautiful sermon, touching the life of Abraham Lincoln, the sermon was delivered in his usual pleasing and inspiring way. At Vesper service, Rev. R. N. Ward made a splendid talk and pleased all present. The choir under the directorship of Professor Morris is rendering beautiful music and hopes to become, in the near future, the finest in the city. The Sunday school, under the supervision of Mr. N. G. Rice is growing in attendance every Sunday and the lessons are taught in a way that all are benefited by it and find pleasure in coming to the Sunday school each Sunday at 1 p.m. Classes for all. The beauty of the church is not surpassed in the city and the welcome to visitors by the members and friends will please you and the pastor welcomes you to visit new Trinity and see the Great work that is being carried on there.

For shame, Mr. Luce Kelley Miller, brilliant scholar and writer, has always commanded the respect of the black man's press because of his piercing logic and unswerving convictions upon the rights of his people. Mr. Miller is the last of the old guard to surrender, but he evidently has returned the sword to scabbard and decided to "study war" no more. Mr. Miller now advocates separate schools. This Jim Crow idea of Mr. Miller is not in conformity with his other policies and we regret that he has so expressed himself. While we are not unmindful of argument that the Professor advances, we believe that more good could have been accomplished if he had reserved this particular opinion. O, Lucifer, how art thou Fallen! A contemporary calls our attention to the fact that there is a concerted effort on foot to establish a Jim Crow American Legion. Lines of color should not be allowed to demoralize an institution which is "dedicated" to a proposition of World Democracy. If the American Legion wishes to continue to hold the love and admiration of the American people and the respect of the world at large, it cannot afford to submit to any plan which would relegate any of the veterans of the Late War into conditions of segregation and discrimination. Among those who voted against the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill which passed the Lower House just a few days ago was Congressman Luce of Massachusetts. If the gentleman had hailed from Mississippi, or even Missouri, we would have expressed no surprise, but to come from Massachusetts, the erstwhile cradle of Liberty and the culture spot of America, causes us to wonder what could have come over the Congressman from good old New England.

"FINDING A WAY OUT" An autobiography by Robert Russia Motton, published by Doubleday, Page and Company. Price $2.50—postage ten cents extra. The writing of autobiographies by principals of colored schools has become a habit. It was started by Booker T. Washington in "Up From Slivery," and so brilliant a biography as that with its world wide appeal made it difficult for Edwards, Holzclaw and others to follow after him Dr. Moton's biography suffers in the same way, especially as he trod in his life lacks incident. The most Washington's footsteps. Moreover, dramatic part of his autobiography is before the hero is born. The tale of his forhear, his great—great—great-grandfather, a chief ought and carried away in a slave ship, the wonderful physical power of other of his grandparents, his paternal grandmother living to be 108, the dramatic story of his father's fight with an overseer, these make a vivid beginning to the autobiography. Those of us who remember Major Moton in his uniform at Hampton wonder why he lacked so in personal vanity as not to have his photograph as a frontpiece, so much does he look like the descendant of a chieftain. But the book is without illustration and Robert. Russa enters upon the stage with little incident. A boyhood at the "great house," school teaching, a short dblble in politics, then Hampton and Tuskegee. A pleasant story, well told with that most blessed gift reserved for man humor. There is one delightful anecdote that I cannot refrain from repeating. Before graduating from Hampton Moton turned his hand to school teaching and was appointed principal of a Virginia school with 150 pupils. Associated with him is an older man named Hembricks who believed in corporal punishment for all offenses. He and Moton had many heated arguments, Moton demanding that matters of discipline he left to him, and Hembricks declaring that he would take the matter to the school board. Fearing this move, Moton talked the whole thing over with his landlady's husband, a man who could neither read nor write but who had much native common sense. Instead of making an issue of the matter he had a grand party, got all the people pleasantly happy on persimmon wine (or was there something more in it?) had Moton make a fine political speech, saw that Hembricks made a less favorable one, talked of the colored people settling their own disputes, and ended by having Hembricks apologize to Moton the next day and cease his corporal punishment. One feels that the two school teachers, wise in the precision that two and two make and always will make four, had lost something of that native wisdom of dealing with men that belonged to the unfettered husband of Moton's landlady. It is as a leader of a group of colored people and as an honored advisor of many of the philanthropists of the white race that Dr. Motton occupies an important place. And the last chapter of his book, "Forward Movements in the South," shows us "The Way Odt" that he believes is most possible and sane. Here he describes the work of The Conference for Education in the South, The General Education Board, The Southern Sociological Congress The Haiver- polar and writer, has always come man's press because of his piercing upon the rights of his people.

By bringing together the best people of both races Dr. Moton feels the race problem will became less acute. He has no royal panacea to peace and pro-operity but the encouragement of co-operation among the elect is his present advice to Negroes in the South. There is a phenomenon known to sociologists as the "Illusion of the Near," that is, that when a thing is very close to us it looms much larger than it, I think the facts of history, and of the history that we are making, show that the philanthropist that come from this getting together of kindly minded people affect the whole mass of the Negroes very little, that private education, no matter how admirable, will never take the place of compulsory public education, and that the dwelling too much on gifts makes the receiving of rights all the more precarious. But Hampton's training on the race question and Dr. Motton is Hampton's son lacks in accuracy what it makes us in optimism, and the pleasant optimism of "Finding a Way Out" will win the approval of nearly all its white readers and many of its colored. There are some American Negroes who have counted for more black than they would have, had they been white. This is emphatically true of Booker Washington whose ideals were essentially the ideals of the aggressive, Rooseveltian type of white man, and who had therefore great chance for fame in representing these qualities in the Negro race. One questions whether this is true with Dr. Moton. One feels in reading his life although the high spirit of adventure, the robustness of spirit inherited from his chieftain forbear had been repressed. As though the white race with its cruel and crass conceit, had taken something from him that would have been his had he been born in America with a white skin, or had been left to develop his ability in his native land.
